END OF SECTION
SECTION 415-COLD PLANING OF BITUMINOUS PLANT MIX PAVEMENTS
415.01-Description. This work shall consist of cold planing an existing bituminous plant mix pavement in accordance with the requirements of
these Specifications and in reasonably close conformity with the lines and grades shown on the Plans or established by the Engineer.
EQUIPMENT
415.02- Equipment All equipment necessary for the satisfactory performance of this work shall be on hand and approved before work will
be permitted to begin. The required equipment shall include a power broom, a water truck, and a planing machine. Equipment shall be furnished
to remove the material planed from the pavement. The planing machine shall be a power operated, self-propelled milling
machine or grinder capable of removing bituminous concrete to the required width, depth, profile, cross-slope and surface texture. The
machine shall be capable of accurately establishing profile by referencing from either the existing pavement or from an independent grade control and
shall have positive means for controlling cross-slope. The machine shall have a floating moldboard with sufficient down pressure to plane the milled
surface. The machine shall have an effective means of removing cuttings from the pavement and for preventing dust from escaping into the air.
When milling the Interstate or controlled access freeways, the planning machine shall be equipped with a cutter drum at least 12 ft. (3.65 m) wide
and be capable of restoring pavement profile with either a contact or noncontact leveling system. A contact leveling system shall be a minimum of
40 ft. (12 m) in length and the non-contact leveling system shall have a minimum of 3 sensors dispersed the length of the machine.
The maximum spacing between teeth on the cutter drum shall not exceed 5/8 in. (15 mm).Supplemental equipment shall be provided as
necessary to remove material in areas that cannot be reached by the planning machine.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
415.03- General Requirements. The operations shall be so arranged that no vertical longitudinal faces exceed 1-1/4 in. (32 mm) in height in areas to
be used by public traffic. Transverse faces shall be tapered in a manner approved by the Engineer to avoid creating a hazard for traffic. The
Contractor shall be required to cold plane in the direction of traffic. When milling roadways for hot mix overlays, the planing machine
shall operate at a consistent forward speed to provide an acceptable surface texture. The maximum allowable forward speed shall be 60 ft. (18 m)/min
when the teeth spacing is between Vi and 5/8 in. (13 and 15 mm), and the maximum allowable forward speed shall be 80 feet(24 m)/min when the
teeth spacing is less than 'A in. (13 mm). After planing, the finished surface shall provide a smooth riding
surface free from scallops, scabs, gouges, ridges, oil film, and other imperfections of workmanship, having a uniform texture, and true to the 414
required grade and cross section. The elevation of the longitudinal edges of adjacent cuts shall not differ more than 1/8 in. (3 mm).
Milling shall not commence unless the subsequent layer of pavement can be placed within limitation specified in Subsection 407.09.
The planed pavement shall be thoroughly swept immediately behind the machine and all materials swept up shall be loaded and hauled away. A
water truck shall be furnished and used to control dust from the work, when deemed necessary by the Engineer. Where sound pavement has been gouged, torn, or otherwise damaged during the milling operations, or damage is done to any other property of
any kind including utility frames, grates, and covers, repairs shall be made by the Contractor at no cost to the Department. The Contractor shall take
appropriate measures so that the cold planing operation does not trap water.
415.04- Surface Requirements. Where the planed pavement is not to be resurfaced, the texture shall be uniform throughout the project and shall
provide a satisfactory riding surface. The average texture depth shall be no less than 0.20 in. (5 mm).
The finished surface on the Interstate and controlled access freeways shall be of uniform profile throughout, without any scabbing, scallops,
gouges, ridges, or other imperfections resulting from worn cutter teeth, improper operating speeds, poor equipment maintenance, or other instances
of poor workmanship. The cross-slope shall be as specified on the plans in the tangent, transition, and super-elevated curve sections.
The finished surface after the final cut shall not show a deviation greater than 1/8 in. (3 mm) from a 10 ft. (3 m) straightedge, and the crossslope
shall not deviate more than 3/8 in. (10 mm) in 10 ft. (3 m). All irregularities exceeding these limits shall be corrected.
Approaches and tapers shall be acceptably textured when required by the Engineer. Length, width, and depth of cut on approaches and tapers
will be as determined by the Engineer. The approaches and tapers shall match the finished cut on the main line and shall be transitioned to the
existing surface to within ±1/8 in. (3 mm). When deemed necessary by the Engineer, private entrances shall be
transitioned to provide a smooth approach to the roadway. Unless otherwise specified on the plans, the cuttings shall become the
property of the Contractor and be removed from the project.
COMPENSATION
415.05- Method of Measurement. Cold Planing of Bituminous Pavement will be measured by the ton(metric ton) of material removed, by the cubic
yard(meter) ) of material removed, or by the square yard(meter) of planed pavement. The method of measurement will depend upon the pay item
designated in the proposal. Where payment is by the square yard(meter) the pavement acceptably planed will be measured by the square yard(meter) in accordance with Section 109. Unless otherwise specified, water used to control dust will not be measured for separate payment but will be considered incidental to the planing operation,
415.06-Basis of Payment. The accepted quantity of Cold Planed Bituminous Pavement will be paid for at the contract unit price, which
payment shall be full compensation for all labor, materials, equipment, hauling, and incidentals necessary to plane the pavement, control dust, and
dispose of the cuttings. 292
